^ they are in their teens, at the top of the world they think. may i ask you, did you actually mean it back then or were you kidding around? i used to think they were just teasing their mom but then i heard them use that as a punchline in several of their tantrum fests and i felt so bad for my khala. i hope they grow out of it too, for her sake, she really doesn't deserve this kind of attitude. when i tell her she's gotta straighten them out, she says all the kids these days are like that in their community, she is not the only one going throught it...but that still doesn't make it right!
the way i see it, she made it all look so easy for them, never complaining, never letting them lift a finger that they just assumed that it was all effortless...she is partly to blame i guess.
I think i meant it 100%. I honestly dont remember ever saying it out loud to her, but in my own personal tantrum fests, yes, I meant it very much that I didnt want to end up like her. but I dont think i realized back then how spoiled rotten I was and that my parents didnt deserve the attitude I gave them. Now that those dyas are gone...I wish I could do them over.
But...ah.....all that matters is that things are different now. :)
